Personal profile
Research interests
I'm interested in literacy and popular culture. I have published research around comics and graphic novels for both children and adults. Most recently I've been looking at the intersections of comics, young people, feminisms and activism.
I have also researched audiences' responses to the comic medium, often using 'object elicitation' to encourage discussion about memories of comics.
I'm also interested in professional perceptions of popular culture.
